Our verdict on Santal Majuscule: Favourite

Santal Majuscule is a sophisticated, sensual sandalwood and rose combo, elevated by bitter cacao. It's a divisive one - some find it a touch serious and dusty, others find it an evocative masterpiece and signature-worthy. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it first.

About

Opening with a dry, almost powdery cacao, Santal Majuscule quickly introduces a rich, creamy sandalwood heart. A nuanced rose note weaves through, adding a touch of floral sophistication without overpowering the woody warmth. The overall impression is one of dark elegance and subtle sweetness, rounded out by a balsamic touch that lends depth and smoothness.
